Product Description
── Passing the baton from the JNR type! The original skirt E257 series!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
Since electrification in the Boso region, express trains, mainly the 183 series, have been in operation, but due to aging, the successor, the E257 series 500, was introduced in October 2004.
Based on the E257 series 0 series for the Chuo-Tohoku Line that was introduced in 2001, it continues to use an aluminum alloy body and VVVF inverter control, and is characterized by a new through structure that takes into account separation and merging, automatic canopies, and a five-car formation without a green car.
The body paint is based on white with accents of blue and yellow, which have been the image colors of the Boso Express since the 255 series, and a logo mark featuring the initials of Boso and the shape of the peninsula has been affixed to the side of the passenger door.
A total of 19 trains and 95 cars were introduced, and many of them were used on express trains on various Boso lines, the Yokosuka Line's Home Liner Zushi, and group and special trains.
Since around 2010, the skirts have been gradually replaced, changing the look.
The product is based on the nostalgic look before the skirt was replaced.

Further expansion of the Micro Ace express train series
Variation product based on A8990 (shipped in January 2014)
First production of a product with a prototype skirt in 11 years
Before all cars were made non-smoking, a smoking car mark was printed on Kuha E256-504.
This is a period setting where you can enjoy the performance of various types of trains, including the 183/189 series, which was in its final active role, and the 113 series, which was the mainstay of local transport in the Boso region, as well as various JNR-type trains.
Like the A8994 product announced in July 2025, the body has a revised shape for the driver's cab roof.
